Definitions
- the field of the invention relates to processes for the preparation of a polymorph of Zolpidem hemitartrate. More particularly, it relates to the preparation of a non-hygroscopic polymorphic form of Zolpidem hemitartrate and pharmaceutical compositions that include the non-hygroscopic polymorphic form, designated as Form I of Zolpidem hemitartrate.
- the invention also relates to use of the compositions for treating anxiety, sleep disorders and convulsions.
- the field of the invention also relates to a process for the preparation of Zolpidem or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof.
- Zolpidem is N,N,6-trimethyl-2-(4-methylphenyl)-imidazo[l,2- a]pyridine-3-acetamide of Formula I. It is useful in the treatment of anxiety, sleep disorders and convulsions.
- Zolpidem is commercially available as its hemitartrate salt of Formula II,
- the pharmacological profile of Zolpidem is characterized by a strong hypnotic effect, together with weak anticonvulsant and muscle-relaxant properties, showing selectivity for benzodiazepine receptors with the biochemical characteristics and regional distribution of the benzodiazepine one subtype.
- Zolpidem is a hypnotic agent with a chemical structure unrelated to benzodiazepines, barbiturates, or other drugs with known hypnotic properties, it interacts with gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-benzodiazepine receptor complex and shares some of the pharmacological properties of the benzodiazepines.
- GABA gamma-aminobutyric acid
- the selective binding of Zolpidem on the omega-1 receptor may explain the relative absence of myorelaxant and anticonvulsant effects in animal studies.
- Zolpidem shows both high affinity and selectivity toward non-benzodiazepine-2 receptors which results in improved activity and/or fewer side effects for the treatment of anxiety, sleep disorders and convulsions.
- U.S. Patent No. 4,382,938 discloses a process for the preparation of Zolpidem base by treating zolpidic acid with dimethylamine in the presence of carbonyldiimidazole and tetrahydrofuran, followed by treating the mass with base and recrystallizing from ethanol to get Zolpidem base.
- the product is not obtained with a high purity profile, thus making the process commercially difficult to implement.
- U.S. Patent No. 4,794,185 discloses a method for the preparation of Zolpidem hemitartrate. The method involves treating Zolpidem base with L-(+)-tartaric acid in methanol and allowing the hemitatrate salt to crystallize. The product obtained has a melting point of 197 0 C (hereinafter designated as Form A of Zolpidem hemitartrate).
- Form A has some characteristic physico-chemical properties. It is very hygroscopic under normal storage conditions and can absorb up to about 5% w/w of moisture after exposure to atmospheric conditions. It is therefore difficult for a formulation scientist to prepare a pharmaceutical composition of Form A because the absorption of water results in problems of weight variation and content uniformity in the formulation.
- Form A is further characterized by X-Ray diffraction (XRD) pattern.
- XRD X-Ray diffraction
- a typical XRD of Form A shows characteristic absorption peaks at two-theta values of 6.5, 9.0, 16.1, 16.6, 24.6 and 27.3. After micronization, the Form A exhibits some additional characteristic peaks than those mentioned above at two-theta values of 6.7, 8.6, 11.2, 15.4 and 17.3.
- Form A exhibits a characteristic Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) profile. Four endothermic peaks are observed at 70.3 0 C, 113.2 0 C, 188.73 0 C and 200.42 0 C and two exothermic peaks are obtained at 126.06 0 C and 168.00 0 C.
- DSC Differential Scanning Calorimetry
- TGA Thermal Gravimetric Analysis
- Karl Fischer analysis suggests that Form A can have up to 3% w/w to 5% w/w of moisture.
- TGA analysis supports this data.
- the endotherm at HO 0 C in TGA analysis suggests partial desorption of water with an overall water content of about 3% w/w to 5% w/w.
- U.S. Patent Application No. 20020077332 discloses various polymorphic forms of Zolpidem hemitartrate, for example, anhydrous, hydrated, or solvated forms having specific X-Ray diffraction patterns, TGA profile and moisture or solvent content. These polymorphic forms are designated as anhydrous, monohydrate, dihydrate, trihydrate and tetrahydrate of Zolpidem hemitartrate along with Forms B, C, D, E, F, G, H and L.
- PCT/IBOl/01558 relates to processes for the preparation of N,N-dimethyl-3-(4-methyl) benzoyl propionamide of Formula III, which is a key intermediate in the synthesis of Zolpidem.
- PCT/IB2004/00245 discloses a process for the preparation of Zolpidem hemitartrate by treating N,N-dimethyl-3-(4-methyl) benzoyl propionamide of Formula III with bromine to get bromo amide of Formula IV,
- the present inventors have surprisingly found that Zolpidem or a salt thereof can be prepared in high yield and purity by condensing bromo amide of Formula IV with 2- amino-5-methylpyridine in the presence of an organic solvent at a temperature of above 8O 0 C.
- the inventors have also found that a novel polymorph of Zolpidem hemitartrate can be obtained which is stable and non-hygroscopic when studied under extensive stability studies.

The wet cake was washed with methyl isobutyl ketone (2 x 100 ml).
- Zolpidem base 35 gm was dissolved in methanol (140 ml) and 1.75 gm activated carbon was added to it. The resultant mass was stirred at room temperature for 15 minutes and then filtered through a celite bed. To the clear filtrate, a solution of L-(+)-tartaric acid (8.55 gm) dissolved in methanol (70 ml) was added under stirring at 45-5O 0 C. Acetone (280 ml) was added to the reaction mass. The reaction mixture was seeded with pure Zolpidem tartarate (0.2 gm) followed by cooling to -20 to -15 0 C.
- the resultant reaction mass was stirred at -20 to -15 0 C for further 2 hours and separated solids were filtered.
- the wet cake was washed with acetone (2 x70 ml).
- the cake was dried at 45 to 5O 0 C under reduced pressure for 6 to 8 hours to get pure Zolpidem hemitartarate.
- Zolpidem base (30 gm) was dissolved in methanol (120 ml) and activated carbon (1.5 gm) was added to it. The resultant mass was stirred at room temperature for 15 minutes and then filtered through a celite bed and the bed was washed with methanol (2 x 30 ml). To the combined, clear filtrate, a solution of L-(+)-tartaric acid (7.2 gm) dissolved in methanol (60 ml) was added under stirring at 45-5O 0 C. To the reaction mass, acetone (240 ml) was added.
